BRITAIN: The Left Jerks on Labor's Reins

It was one of the most bruising internal struggles in the 79-year
history of the British Labor Party. At a mauling annual conference in
Brighton last week, a successful left-wing challenge wrested effective
control of the party from moderate Leader James Callaghan. It pointed
toward a radical policy shift that could shake up British politics for
years to come. It catapulted leftist Chieftain Tony Benn into a
front-running position as heir apparent to the party leadership.
